Chapter 33: Everyone Gains Something

To be honest, although The Hanged Man Alger had long expected that Miss Justice would not bargain, and although the value of that mystical item was indeed roughly around the level of 5,500 pounds, he still felt a strong sense of discomfort at such behavior. It gave him the disillusioning feeling that, after he had painstakingly opened up every link in the chain and finally earned a sizable profit with great difficulty, the result was still not even as much as someone else’s pocket money.

The World will receive 675 pounds, and the Artisan’s creation fee is only 600 pounds. I can make 400 pounds in pure profit… In this transaction, my total income is 1,075 pounds. Unfortunately, The World is not a simple figure. He has provided many Beyonder characteristics and potion formulas, participated in no small number of incidents, and can learn quite important information. It is not worth creating conflict with him over a few hundred pounds. Otherwise, I could have pushed the price of his Beyonder characteristic down below 4,000 pounds… The Hanged Man thought with some regret.

While The Fool was delighted that 3,825 pounds would soon enter his account, The Sun Derrick looked at the lady opposite him and said sincerely, “Miss Magician, your Spirit Eater’s stomach pouch is ready.”

“Wonderful!” Fors let out a complete sigh of relief. “I will pay Mr. Hanged Man 300 pounds in cash.”

Hearing this, The Hanged Man Alger was also invigorated. He hurriedly made a request to Mr. Fool, seated at the very end of the long bronze table, to materialize the potion formula.

A few seconds later, on the yellow-brown parchment before him, he “wrote” out the formula for the Sun Priest:

“Sequence 7, Sun Priest. Main ingredients: one red comb of a Dawn Rooster; one fruit from a Radiant Contract Spirit Tree. Supplementary ingredients: 100 milliliters of Dawn Rooster blood; 10 drops of Sun essential oil; 8 grams of golden bergamot powder; 5 grams of solidified magma.”

Although Klein had not deliberately peeked at the potion formula, the content, which could only be materialized through him, still entered his mind. As long as he wished to recall it through dream divination, he could immediately obtain the corresponding knowledge.

This forced him to sigh soundlessly:

As expected, being the platform earns the most money!

The Sun Derrick accepted the parchment expectantly, browsing through it with a mix of relief and excitement.

Next, he materialized the list of monsters in the surrounding regions of the City of Silver, allowing The Hanged Man to select Beyonder materials to balance the price difference.

The Hanged Man Alger read through it carefully and unhurriedly, accurately grasping the conditions around the City of Silver. Then he picked three materials whose buyers and prices he knew clearly.

After obtaining them, I should be able to sell them within two days. I can probably get around 1,000 pounds. Adding the 300 pounds from Miss Magician and the previous 1,075 pounds, the money for the Dragon-eyed Sea Eagle’s eyeball is finally gathered… Alger felt a wave of exhaustion. Turning his head to Fors, he said, “Miss Magician, you may prepare the transaction for the Dragon-eyed Sea Eagle’s eyeball.”

The Hanged Man currently had only a dozen or so pounds on him. Even the creation fee he had advanced to the Artisan had come from borrowing through his wide network of contacts. But after this series of transactions was completed, his cash assets would reach 2,375 pounds, enough to pay the 2,000 pounds required for the main ingredient.

The Magician Fors thought of the loss she had suffered at Mr. Hanged Man’s hands last week and replied with slight grievance, “Alright.”

To her, how much she would ultimately profit from this transaction depended entirely on how much her teacher, Dorian Gray, was willing to share with her. There was no additional income beyond that.

At the end of the transaction segment, Klein…
